**FAQ’S
How long does it take to go paragliding?
In ideal conditions, this activity just requieres half the day. We leave Cusco city in the morning around 08:00 hrs and return by 13:30 hrs. Afternoon departures are scheduled for 14:00 hrs. However we schedule these afternoon flights usually from September to May because of the strong wind. If you’d like to fly in the afternoon but you’re coming during the other months, contact us first to check weather forecasts.
Please, remember paragliding is about patience. We wait for the best conditions in order to fly. There’s no rush in this activity. The point is to keep it safe.
During the rainy season, the waiting time can go longer. So, let us know if you have some other activities scheduled for the rest of the day, as tours or flights out.
